3.00We were disappointed to learn that St Moritz was "closed" for the season. Most of the shops and cafes were closed. This should have been explained in the description of the tour, BEFORE signing up and paying.

5.00Our Bernina Express panoramic train tour from Milan to St. Moritz and back was absolutely incredible. The views were the true highlight, endless snow-capped mountains, sparkling lakes, and stunning alpine scenery through the panoramic windows made every moment feel unreal. Our tour guide was very professional and kept everything smooth and enjoyable. St. Moritz was beautiful, but the journey itself was unforgettable. Highly recommend!
Unbelievable

5.00You won’t want to miss this trip. Unbelievable scenery with excellent guide Mario. Great bus driver Alberto and fabulous seating on the train. If your unsure whether to do this trip because of the cost you will be more then grateful that you went.
Perfect Day!

5.00Don’t hesitate to take this tour it’s worth every minute of travel time. The bus ride is pleasant as the bus is very comfortable with large panoramic windows. There is beautiful scenery on the trip to st Moritz and the tour guide is humerous and knowledgeable. St Moritz shops were mostly closed due to it being off season, however we had a wonderful lunch and a beautiful walk. You are seated with your tour group on a separate panoramic Bernina train car and the ride is amazing. Don’t worry too much about what side of the train to sit on as the windows are massive and you can see the scenery from both sides. Also the train is slow moving so if you are seated traveling backwards it’s not a problem if you have motion sickness. The seat stress is unfounded. The return bus ride also was pleasant and comfortable and you are dropped off at the starting point by 9:00 pm. Would give this tour a 10 out of 10.
Everyone was very polite...

5.00Incredible scenery, excellent service, Mario, our guide, was great, both in the explanations and in providing us help and suggestions to take advantage of the tour. A few days earlier there was a fire in the area, so the train did not reach Tirano, that is, the final part of the route was missing, as a precaution, but we did it by bus and in compensation we had a slightly more extensive stop in Tirano. Worth it, I recommend it!
Beautiful tour, but heads up info for other travelers

4.00Mario is an excellent guide, with lots of interesting information and anecdotes which he gave us throughout the whole day! And, our bus drivers were great. The rest/lunch stop on our way up was just right, with lots of tasty options. On the Bernina Express we enjoyed wonderful scenery in the panoramic car (windows that curve up into the top of the car for maximum viewing). The railroad is an amazing feat of engineering! That being said, here are two improvements I recommend to the rail line. 1. Refit the car with seats that all face the direction of travel (moveable backs for the change of direction at each end of the route). 2. Being a UNESCO Heritage site, there is so much more information that the downloadable audio guide could supply, along with appropriate music between the commentary, and the use of modern GPS technology so the information they supply is actually coordinated with the areas in which we travel. Here are two things to know about this Viator trip. 1. Be aware that, because there is just one set of tracks between stops, there are numerous times when the train needs to pull over and wait for trains traveling the same tracks the other direction. 2. This particular tour only does the 2 hour train from St. Moritz, Switzerland to Tirano, Italy. If you want to see the Landwasser Viaduct, you need to sign up for a tour with the complete 4 hr Chur, Switzerland to Tirano, Italy train route. Now, last but not least, if you take this tour, when you're in St. Moritz I recommend the upstairs of La Stalla restaurant for a meal (we had a delicious cheese fondue). The wait staff is very friendly and the decor is cozy Swiss. 👍

5.00Overall it was a nice experience. The time will pass quite mostly only by sitting in the bus or on the train and 2 hours in Saint Moritz. I would rather depart earlier and have more time in S Moritz. It started at 9.15 from Milano and we arrived to S Moritz at 13:15 and the train was at 15:30 but you need to be at the train station at 15:00 with the group so also you can choose a nice seat. Then we arrived to Tirana about 18 and arrived to Milano at 21:30. The people who joined this were mostly families and old couples. We were two friends 30yo but it was super nice. Special thanks to our guide Alessandra and our drivers they were always so nice and understanding.
Beautiful
